The patch titled pid namespaces: move alloc_pid() to copy_process() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is pid-namespaces-move-alloc_pid-to-copy_process.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: pid namespaces: move alloc_pid() to copy_process() From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@xxxxxxxxxx> Move alloc_pid() into copy_process(). This will keep all pid and pid namespace code together and simplify error handling when we support multiple pid namespaces.
